During the Advanced Open Water course you’ll hone your skills by completing five adventure dives:

Deep Adventure Dive:

Or as they say in Thailand, same same but deeper! This adventure dive takes you to greater depths than your open water – typically anything from 18-30 metres. There’s something exciting and mysterious about that the opportunity to explore the deep. It’s exhilarating. If you want to learn more about deep diving, and be able to go as deep as 40 metres, then the Deep Specialty Diver course is for you.

Underwater Navigator Adventure Dive:

So far your instructor has done an amazing job of guiding you around our pristine dive sites. Now it’s your turn to have a go! You will learn how to measure time and distance on your underwater swims, and also perfect your compass skills, as well as discovering how to use natural features and underwater topography to find your way around a dive site.
